Members of the state government are also prohibited from exercising a National Council or Federal Council mandate at the same time . In addition, they may not be a member of the federal government , president or vice-president of the state parliament, mayor or other member of a community board (city senate) or chairman or member of the committee of a community association. As a rule, the members of the state government also resign from their state parliament mandate for the duration of their membership in the state government.
Representation of the members of the state government
If the governor is unable to attend or if he has left office prematurely, he will be represented by the first deputy governor or, if he is unable to do so, by the second deputy governor. In the event that both deputy governors are unable to attend, the oldest member of the provincial government takes over the representation. In matters of indirect federal administration and the administration of federal assets entrusted to the governor, the governor is represented by the member of the provincial government appointed by the provincial government. If another member of the state government is prevented or left office prematurely, the representation will be taken over by a member of the state government appointed at the suggestion of the state governor.
Term of office
The office of the members of the state government begins with the swearing in and ends after the end of the legislative period. After the end of the legislative period, the members of the government continue to run the business until the new state government is sworn in. In addition to a voluntary, written resignation from office, there are several options for premature resignation from office. In addition to being sworn in to an office that is subject to exclusion (National Council, Federal Council, Federal Government, etc.), a member of the government can lose his or her office if the state government is dismissed by the state parliament or a vote of no confidence by the state parliament. Furthermore, he leaves office prematurely if he loses the right to be elected to the state parliament or the Constitutional Court so decides.
Election of the state government
Nomination and election
The election of the state government takes place after a proposal by one of the groups of voters represented in the state parliament. For this, more than half of the electorate must have signed the proposal. If a proposal for the new state government is submitted by several groups of voters, it must be signed by more than half of the newly elected members of each of these groups of voters. The state government is elected by the state parliament in one ballot.
Swearing in
After the election by the state parliament, the governor is sworn in. Before taking up his post “in the hands of the President of the State Parliament”, the latter is obliged to vow to observe the state constitution, federal laws and other state laws and to conscientiously fulfill his duties. Furthermore, the governor has to pledge compliance with the Federal Constitution "in the hands of the Federal President". The other members of the government have to pledge to the governor that they will comply with the federal and state constitution, other federal and state laws, as well as the conscientious fulfillment of their duties before the state parliament.
By-elections and new elections
If a member of the state government resigns within the legislative period, the state parliament must immediately hold the by-election. The by-election of a state council can be omitted if the minimum number of state councils required is not fallen below. If a deputy governor leaves office, a by-election can be omitted if a regional councilor is elected as his successor and the required minimum number of regional councilors is again reached.
If the entire state government leaves office, a new election must take place immediately. A new election of the entire state government is also necessary if the governor leaves office prematurely due to a vote of no confidence or if the electoral groups represented in the state government have changed due to a by-election or election of an additional state council.
Government work
Government formation
The formation of a government takes place after the state elections, whereby the first person in the state election nomination of the party with the highest vote invites all those groups of voters who have received mandates in the newly elected state parliament to government negotiations.
Rules of Procedure
The state government's rules of procedure are determined by the state government. The members of the state government then have to perform their tasks in accordance with these rules of procedure. The rules of procedure assign the affairs of the state administration to the individual members of the state government. However, the constitutionally entrusted to the governor or the state government are excluded from this division of responsibilities. The rules of procedure can stipulate that individual matters relating to the indirect federal administration and the administration of federal assets entrusted to the governor are taken over by other members of the provincial government on behalf of the governor due to their factual connection with matters relating to the provincial administration. As part of this representation, the members of the state government are bound by the instructions of the governor.
Decision making
Resolutions in the state government are unanimous. For a valid decision, the presence of at least half of its members of the state government is also required. In addition, the governor or one of his deputies must be among the voters. Furthermore, abstention is permitted. If a matter is urgent, a resolution can also be passed by circular resolution.
Emergency Ordinance Law
The state government has the right to issue an emergency ordinance to avert “obvious, irreparable damage to the general public”. The state government can use this right of emergency ordinance for measures that constitutionally require a resolution by the state parliament if the state parliament cannot meet in time or is hindered in its activities by force majeure. The state government can decide on the necessary measures in agreement with the emergency committee by means of provisional statutory amendments.
If the state government has issued ordinances under emergency ordinance law, these ordinances must be submitted to the state parliament immediately. This must be called for a meeting within one week. The state parliament has to pass the ordinance by means of a corresponding law within four weeks or has to call on the state government to repeal the ordinance. In this case, the state government must comply with this request immediately.
State constitutional provisions are excluded from the emergency ordinance law. In addition, ordinances in this context must not "have any permanent financial burden on the state of Tyrol, no sale of state assets, no financial burden on the federal government or the municipalities, no financial burdens on citizens and no measures in matters of labor law or worker and employee protection of the state - and forestry workers and employees and in the affairs of the chamber for agricultural and forestry workers and employees ”included.
